MARSURET VENETO, ITALY

The winery was founded in 1936 by Agostino Marsura (Marsuret is a family nickname) when he bought a vineyard at the heart of Prosecco country, in the hills in Val de Cune in Guia di Valdobbiadene. There he started to produce the first sparkling wine with natural in-bottle fermentation. His brother Giovanni, many years his junior, dedicated himself to ensuring quality production, looking after the vineyards, harvesting by hand and carefully selecting the grapes used to make the wines. Giovanni, Valter and Ermes grew up among the vines and today hold the reins of the company and the next generation is not far behind. They inherit a wealth of knowledge and understanding from their forebears while learning the values the family hold so dear. The family has a long tradition in wine growing and, just like the vines they tend, is a genuine product of the Valdobbiadene hills. They work in the original buildings which, over the years, have been expanded and improved so that today they house some of the most advanced technology helping them to guarantee quality while caring for the environment. A genuine passion for quality wine cultivation forms the base of the Marsuret company mission. These values continue to form the heart of the Marsuret Winery, which continues to be a quality leader in the area.
